The End of One Chapter and the Beginning of Another – Thank You for Your Trust!

Establishing my own law firm was the fulfilment of a long-held dream. Having the freedom to shape my own working environment, set my own direction, and build a legal practice that truly reflected my values and professional beliefs has been an exceptionally rewarding experience. Throughout this journey, I have learned and grown – as a lawyer, an entrepreneur, and a person.

But the most important part of this journey has been all of you – my clients, colleagues, partners, and everyone who has supported and cheered me on along the way.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has placed their trust in me and Advokaadibüroo Matteus over these years. Thank you to the clients who entrusted me with their complex legal matters, important projects, and disputes. Thank you to the colleagues and partners with whom I have had the privilege of finding solutions, exchanging ideas, and learning from one another.

I am especially grateful to those who believed in me from the very first days of my firm. Your trust and support gave me the confidence and opportunity to build an independent and successful legal practice.

I have always believed that excellent legal service is built not only on in-depth legal expertise, but also on trust, a genuine understanding of clients' needs, a personal approach, and sincere dedication. These principles have guided my work from the very beginning, and they will continue to do so in the future.

However, the closing of Advokaadibüroo Matteus does not mark the end of my work in public procurement law and administrative disputes. Quite the opposite – an exciting new chapter lies ahead.

As of 2 November 2026, I will be joining Ellex Raidla as an Associate Partner, where I will focus on developing the firm's public procurement practice and advising clients on public law matters and administrative disputes.

This step will allow me to combine my experience and specialised expertise with the strength and multidisciplinary knowledge of one of Estonia's leading law firms. I genuinely believe that this will enable me to offer my clients even more comprehensive legal support and take our already valued cooperation to the next level.

I sincerely hope that our paths will continue to cross and that we will have the opportunity to work together again through Ellex Raidla.

Thank you for your trust, your cooperation, and all the years we have shared! While the story of Advokaadibüroo Matteus is coming to an end, the relationships we have built, the experiences gained, and the achievements we have shared will always remain with me.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Kadri Matteus
Founder of Advokaadibüroo Matteus
Attorney-at-Law

As of 2 November 2026
